Hair is a good example of physical contamination in food.
<h3>cross contamination: what is it?</h3>
Contaminants can enter food in a variety of ways, including during production, processing, or cooking.
Food isn't always immediately exposed to contaminants.
Cross-contamination is the unintentional introduction of pathogens from a surface, item, or person into the food.
The four most typical causes of cross-contamination are bugs, food handlers, utensils, and clothing.
When people refer to cross-contamination, they typically mean biological or allergenic pollutants, however any of the four contaminants may be involved.
<h3>Physical contamination: what is it?</h3>
Foreign things that contaminate food are referred to as physical contamination.
Between farm and table, it can occur at any time.
Physical contaminants can lead to injuries including choking, cutting, or tooth damage, but they can also introduce dangerous bacteria that have their own risks.
Finding something in one's meal can be highly upsetting, even if one is not sick or hurt.
The pathogenic bacteria are bacteria that cause food poisoning through the contamination of food by faeces. Examples include Salmonella typhi, E. coli, Clostridium botulinum e.t.c.
This means that they are contacted through faecal oral route.
